''You want to enter the singing competition?''asked Camy to her best friend observing the notice board.
''No. I can't sing,'' replied Grace.
''Yes you can. Please try it for me,'' Camy begged.
''Fine. I can sing a little not to get humiliated,'' Grace declared.
''You can really sing but you don't believe in yourself, tomboy, '' continued Camy.
''Time to get to class, girl player',' said Grace walking off to their next class, English.
English flew by for Camy while she talked to boys who were drooling over her but Grace was the nerd, tomboy, serious of the two.

''Hey, everyone. All participants of the singing competition, please go to the drama room, now,'' said Casey (Other wise known as sassy Casey ) as we walked out our class.
''Go on,'' nudged Camy to Grace.
''I'm going,'' she said walking to the drama room.
Her boots were unheard as she walked up the stage with at least 20 persons. All seemed confident especially Casey. Everyone lined up and each went up to sing in front of three judges. Grace joined the line and thought of her song. The best she could think of was 'Fight Song' by Rachel Platten.
While the judges shouted ''next!'', Grace ran over her song. Finally it was her turn.
She started slowly as she remembered the beat and tempo of the song. She continued nicely to the second verse. She realised how the room was quiet but continued to focus until the end of the song.''That was beautiful,'' said the first judge in awe.
''You can really sing,'' commented the other.
''We have found the five contestants for this competition,'' said the last one.
They recalled the five names which were: Casey Isle, Dan Beal, Kelly Byle, Vaughn White and Grace Davidson.
She was shocked. She could actually sing.
After everyone left the room the judges told the contestants to stay. Casey looked at Grace with disgust. Grace didn't care. She could sing and a bossy, too hot and sassy, over ego girl wasn't going to change that.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''I can sing,'' said Grace as she sat in the front seat of Camy's Jeep.
''See, you doubted yourself,'' said Camy plainly.
''What if I win?''asked Grace.
''Then a band will take you as your lead singer and you will become famous,'' replied Camy.
The two drove quietly to the boarding part of the school they stayed at. It was about 4 miles from the school for safety. The two walked to their dorm to find their dorm friends had their noses in magazines.
''You need to dress like a girl in this magazine than dress than a Goth boy,'' said Tasha.
''If I want to dress like boy I can,'' said Grace.
''You look nice but act like a girl,'' she continued.
''Why do we have to do this every time I come here,'' Grace declared.
''Cause I want you to dress like a girl,'' she replied.
''What you want, I don't care,'' and she jumped on her bunk bed at the top.
''She's a contestant in the singing competition,'' stated Camy.
''Okay. Hope you win,'' said Tasha smiling at Grace.

In the morning at school everything was usually until Casey came to talk to Grace at 7:50A.M.
''Darling you think you can sing but you can't,'' she started.
''Darling I don't care want you think but I don't need your crappy bragging today,'' declared Grace.
''I'm not afraid of you s-,''
''You better be afraid of me cause I'm not afraid to rip your face in pieces. I don't even need to rip up your face cause you were born that way,''
''How dare y-,'' Casey stuttered
''How dare I? Cause I'm a darer and you're a fearer,'' Grace continued walking away leaving Casey in shock.
Grace walked over to where her Goth posy was and started talking with them. Her best friends were Cameron, Lexus, and Timothy who was a famous rapper and singer.
''Now why would you enter a singing competition?.''asked Tim.
''Camy forced me to,'' replied Grace.
''My sister forced you to go in a singing competition?,''asked Cameron shocked.
''Yes. She says I can sing. Even the judges said so,'' Grace continued.
''You can sing I don't believe this,'' commented Lex.
''Sing.''
''What song?,''she asked.
''The song you sang,''
Grace started singing and the boys were shocked.
''I agree with Casey,'' said Hunt at the table beside them.
''Whatever Hunt. You can't hear singing because your dumb, blind bat,'' declared Grace.
''Well you can't actually sing and any deaf man would know that,'' he declared.
''You can. Don't listen to Hunt,'' said Lex kindly.
''I don't even want to win,'' she mumbled.
